11. Find the output voltage for the squarer circuit given below, choose input frequency as 10kHz and Vref =10v

Find the output voltage for the squarer circuit given below, choose input frequency as 10kHz and Vref =10v

A. Vo = 5.0-(5.0×cos4π×104t)
B. Vo = 2.75-(2.75×cos4π×104t)
C. Vo = 1.25-(1.25×cos4π×104t)
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C

Output voltage of frequency Vo =Vi2 / Vref

=> Vi = 5sinωt = 5sin2π×104t

Vo = [5×(sin2π×104t)2 ]/10

= 2.5×[1/2-(1/2cos2π ×2×104t)] = 1.25-

(1.25×cos4π×104t).

 

12. Calculate the phase difference between two input signals applied to a multiplier, if the input signals are Vx= 2sinωt and Vy= 4sin(ωt+θ). (Take Vref= 12v).

A. θ = 1.019
B. θ = 30.626
C. θ = 13.87
D. θ = 45.667

Answer: A

Vo= [Vmx×Vmy /(2×Vref)] ×cosθ

=> (Vo×2×Vref)/ (Vmx × Vmy) = cosθ

=> cosθ = (10×2×12)/(2×4) = 30.

=> θ = cos-130 =1.019.

 

13. Express the output voltage equation of the divider circuit

A. Vo= -(Vref/2)×(Vz/Vx)
B. Vo= -(2×Vref)×(Vz/Vx)
C. Vo= -(Vref)×(Vz/Vx)
D. Vo= -Vref2×(Vz/Vx)

Answer: C

The output voltage of the divider,

Vo= -Vref×(Vz/Vx).

Where Vz –> dividend and Vx –> divisor.

 

14. Find the input current for the circuit given below.

Find the input current for the circuit given below.

 

A. IZ = 0.5372mA
B. IZ = 1.581mA
C. IZ = 2.436mA
D. IZ =9.347mA

Answer: B

Input current, IZ = -(Vx×Vo)/(Vref×R)

= −(4.79v×16.5v)/(10×5kΩ)

= 1.581mA.

 

15. Find the condition at which the output will not saturate?
Find the condition at which the output will not saturate?

A. Vx > 10v ; Vy > 10v
B. Vx < 10v ; Vy > 10v
C. Vx < 10v ; Vy < 10v
D. Vx > 10v ; Vy < 10v

Answer: C

In an analog multiplier, Vref is internally set to 10v. As long as Vx < Vref and Vy < Vref, the output of the multiplier will not saturate.

 

16. Determine the relationship between log-antilog method.

A. lnVx×lnVy = ln(Vx+Vy)
B. lnVx / lnVy = ln(Vx-Vy)
C. lnVx -lnVy = ln(Vx/Vy)
D. lnVx+ lnVy = ln(Vx×Vy)

Answer: D

The log-analog method relies on the mathematical relationship that is the sum of the logarithm of the product of those numbers.

=> lnVx+lnVy = ln(Vx×Vy).

 

17. Which circuit allows doubling the frequency?

A. Frequency doubler
B. Square doubler
C. Double multiplier
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: A

The multiplication of two sine waves of the same frequency with different amplitude and phases allows for doubling a frequency.

 

18. Compute the output of the frequency doubler. If the inputs Vx = Vsinωt and Vy = Vision(ωt+θ) are applied to a four-quadrant multiplier?

A. Vo= { Vx×Vy× [cosθ-(cosθ×cos2ωt)+(sinθ×sin2ωt)]}/ Vref
B. Vo= { Vx×Vy× [cosθ-(cosθ×cos2ωt)+(sinθ×sin2ωt)]}/ 2
C. Vo= { Vx×Vy× [cosθ-(cosθ×cos2ωt)+(sinθ×sin2ωt)]}/(2×Vref)
D. Vo= – { Vx×Vy× [cosθ-(cosθ×cos2ωt)+(sinθ×sin2ωt)]}/(2×Vref)

Answer: C

The output of frequency doubler

Vo= (Vx×Vy)/Vref = [(Vsinωt +Vsin(ωt+θ)]/ Vref

= {Vx×Vy×[(sin2ωt×cosθ)+(sinθ×sinωt×cosωt)]}/ Vref

=> Vo= { Vx×Vy× [cosθ-(cosθ×cos2ωt)+(sinθ×sin2ωt)]}/(2×Vref).

 

19. How to remove the dc term produced along with the output in the frequency doubler?

A. Use a capacitor between load and output terminal
B. Use a resistor between load and output terminal
C. Use an Inductor between load and output terminal
D. Use a potentiometer between load and output terminal

Answer: A

The output of the frequency doubler contains a dc term and wave of double frequency. The dc term can be easily removed by using a 1µF coupling capacitor between the load and output terminal of the doubler circuit.

 

20. Find the voltage range at which the multiplier can be used as a squarer circuit?

A. 0 – Vin
B. Vref – Vin
C. 0 – Vref
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: C

The basic multiplier can be used to square any positive or negative number provided the number can be represented by a voltage between 0 to Vref.

 

6. Calculate the output voltage of a squarer circuit, if its input voltage is 3.5v. Assume Vref = 9.67v.

A. 2.86v
B. 1.27v
C. 10v
D. 4.3v

Answer: B

The output voltage of a squarer circuit

Vo = Vi2 / Vref

= (3.5)2 / 9.67v = 1.27v.
